Petri Kuljuntausta: Laikku’s Oracle
Library park, Culture House Laikku’s yard tree [Kulttuuritalo Laikku]
A tree is never quiet. It makes sounds when the wind blows, when the earth shakes, when water moves within its veins, or when birds gather to sit on its branches. What the tree tells, depends on the listener.
Ville Aalto: Avian Electronics | Electronic bird songs (2020)
Library park, Culture House Laikku’s yard
Voltage-controlled birds sing in the park, synthetic natural sounds and electronic signals merge. What is real, what is natural, what is artificial?
